Drinking. I used to get blitzed every night except Sunday.
Bad habit to have. Great habit to break.

Great question SFC Drake!

I used to count steps everywhere. I still know most of the numbers of steps in the staircases of many buildings on base. I know it takes four steps to cross a parking space. When I still lived in the dorms I would average 180 steps to the chow hall.

I quit drinking almost 7 years ago. Now if I can quit smoking I can afford my Golf addiction.

The one habit that I wish that I could break would be chewing my fingers/finger nails. I have done it since I was a baby and during high stress moments it is certainly worse. I gnaw at them until they bleed and then continue until they hurt to touch.

I've attempted everything I can to stop, but nothing works. My wife hates it, as it drives her nuts and I often get blood on things at the house without realizing it. The only thing I can think of to really stop me from doing it is to wear gloves 24/7, but of course I can't do that.

Any suggestions from the field?

Cursing like a sailor.
One thing I have yet to break is good dieting, I can do it for a month but after that... nom nom nom. If I could eat right I would be a beast.

Drinking Courvoisier Cognac to calm my nerves in difficult circumstances.

Drinking Courvoisier Cognac to calm my nerves after too many surgeries.

Drinking Courvoisier Cognac to calm my nerves before firing any weapon.

Fortunately I gave up such drinking long ago. Now only to help me sleep.

Smoking, started when I was a 21 year old PFC during Desert Storm. Quit on 12-27-12. I should have never picked it up.
